"The poem is a way of making sense of the world."

I like everything that has no style: dictionaries, photographs, nature, myself and my paintings.

The great secret that all old people share is that you really haven't changed in seventy or eighty years. Your body changes, but you don't change at all. And that, of course, causes great confusion.

Success is my only motherfuckin' option, failure's not.

译文：待人处世柔软能立身，过于刚强能惹灾祸。赏析：人过刚则易折，过柔则易弯。柔弱不是懦弱，是对世事的利害把控。人过于刚强，就会处处破壁。我们要把握好刚与柔的尺度，过于柔弱就会受人欺负，过于刚强就会招致祸患。
